If you watch the more recent footage you can clearly see most of the plane slowly cartwheeling through the sky into the water. It was still mostly a plane.

I was not prepared for boob wings this early in the day.

Nah, Lost_My_Mind gives a much more typical representation.

This tells me I need to watch Northern Exposure, Schitt’s Creek, and Fawlty Towers.

And that you need to watch 30 Rock, Community, Scrubs, and Arrested Development.

Watching Ted Lasso made me wish I had a sportsball community to be part of.

I decided in 2015 to be a fan of the (then terrible, but historically awesome) McLaren F1 team. I really liked the McLaren P1 hypercar (not that I will ever be able to afford or even drive one), and I thought that was a good enough reason to pick a team to follow.

I have thoroughly loved watching their rise from dismal in 2015 to winning the Constructor’s Championship in 2024!

Find a sport that interests you, there are LOTS of them. And then find any reason to pick a team. It’s fun, even if absolutely meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

(I really liked F1 because the technical side is fascinating, and I only needed to learn the names of twenty athletes. 😅)

Worth fluctuates. I’d say Michael Schumacher is worth a lot less than he used to be……

Michael Schumacher is still valued by his family and friends, regardless of how society at large may view the earning potential someone who has suffered a TBI. His worth as a human is no less simply because he can’t increase the value of Ferrari or Omega or Marlboro anymore.

That’s sort of the point.

Yeah, I do wish they hadn’t killed the pressure button. But I tend to swipe anyway.

I jumped from the Voyage to the Paperwhite when they switched to USB-C and added a warmth slider for the screen. It’s really nice, especially with an origami case (even if that case isn’t as nice as the origami case for the Voyage).

Earlier this morning, while reading the final Discworld novel, I came across this reference Terry Pratchett made to Monty Python. It’s not my favorite thing to come out of Monty Python, but it made me smile.

Is that really part of Star Trek lore? Because…that’s terrifying if so.

Whatever happened to Ameristralia? Wasn’t that a thing back on The Old Site for a while?

Storms I hope that’s true.

It’s been a long day without you my friend…

Hey now - any directional system not making use of Turnwise and Widdershins is one I want no part of.

And obviously going toward the main hub of the spacecraft should be called “Hubwards.” And away from the main hub, out toward the edge of space, we could call something like “Rimwards.”

I despise commercials generally. But the Super Bowl is when marketers used to bring their A-game, with a very different feel from usual ads.

Now they just bring A-listers instead, put them on the screen and say, “Look who we hired! Now buy our product.”

Beautiful.

Isn’t it just ↑↑↓↓←→←→BA<start>? No second B?

This is how I use coin flips (for two options, obviously).

Make sure to stock up on fungi for the nighttime, too.

You roll it around your hand for shape, then remove it. It’s essentially the same as folding, unless you leave it on your hand, in which case you’re wasting half of it.
